I have no idea what is wrong with this pc:
Basically, if the pc is cold, it will boot fine. If you then turn it off and on again (after it has been on for a short while) - it makes a long beep - and nothing happens, but if you wait a while (about 5mins) it boots fine.
Its an old pc, but it has had this problem from the outset, i never really bothered fixing it as it used to be on 24/7 but isn't now.
I think it maybe due to a capacitor now discharging properly or something (i read that ages ago when looking into this).
Any ideas?
